Troy Deeney has picked his best 12 performers from the weekend’s action.
The Premier League team of the week (and manager) that have most impressed him.
Included in his dozen choices are three from Newcastle United.
This NUFC trio all playing key roles in the ten man win over Southampton.
I have no dispute with the Newcastle United selections that Troy Deeney has chosen, BUT, we as NUFC fans, all know that Joelinton was by some distance the main man on Saturday.
Troy Deeney explains why he has picked out Eddie Howe as Premier League manager of the week, plus Dan Burn and Alexander Isak for his Premier League team of the week and then the full eleven (twelve) are listed below:
Nick Pope (Newcastle United):
“He made numerous saves and was just as solid as a rock.
“He struggled with injuries at the end of last season but was great on Saturday as Newcastle ground out a win with 10 men against Southampton.”
Dan Burn (Newcastle United):
“Playing centre-half – and then in a back three when Newcastle went down to 10 men after Fabian Schar’s red card – he was a monster.
“I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves considering just how good he’s been for how little they paid Brighton for him.”
Premier League manager of the week:
Eddie Howe (Newcastle):
“There’s a lot of pressure and expectation on Eddie Howe, but for Newcastle to go down to 10 men and grind out the result like they did against Southampton was brilliant.”
